Event Details

BrandConnect is a forum for brand marketers and the tech ecosystem to meet and exchange ideas, experiences, and just get to know one another. Each dinner is a hand chosen group of influential brand marketers and young technology companies. Our goal is to help facilitate the conversation between brands and tech to drive deeper discussions and relationships...all the while enjoying some good food and drinks.

February's topic:

"Driving brand engagement through video and content"

With over 1B smartphones worldwide, consumers are increasingly turning to their phones to consume rich media and video. We will take a look how brands can and are driving engagement and value through mobile and social content and video platforms. Video is still only 10% of time spent on mobile devices so we are just at the tip of the iceberg!
